DONE!!

Brain dead done. All 26.

The last 2 were a rewrite of places churches can be and a board book called Where's Potter Now? about the places you can find a cat.

Now to get back to character development! But first a nap.

Day 22 (23?)

On my master list I have 23 done and 3 to go so I missed reporting somewhere. Or miscounted.

Anyway I managed another Svata story about Great Uncle Moses and the Red Sea. Spoiler alert: chariots don't make it.

Headed home tomorrow and fresh out of any ideas, but determined....3 more....3 more....

Days 20 and 21

Dredging the bottoms of my creativity! Or even interest. Or caring. No, no - I can do this.  Or stop with only 4 left? Arrrrrrgh!

OK - another Svata story - this time about Great Uncle Elijah and the miracle of the Jars. In rhyme. Fun but exhausting. At this point they all are!

And a very rough but assembled story of yearbook predictions for a JH full of odd creatures. Again falling into the "research is more fun than writing" trap, but the weird animals are sooooo funny!

Back to Phoenix today. It has been a nice writers retreat since I am tempted to do nothing else befo the rest of the house starts. Lazy Geezers. Eheheheehehe he

Days 18 and 19.

Freak snowstorm in the desert, but now some sun. And two more stories I have done.

The first was another Page Turner, walking the walls with Joshua.

 The other is the first in a new book I have been thinking of . What stories would Jesus' grandma - or Svata - have told him growing up? Each one is triggered by an event in his life - at that time he is still called his Hebrew name of Yeshua - and she'll tells them in rhyme. So a rainy day triggers the story of GReat Uncle Noah and the 40 day flood. It was fun.

Seven left!

Days 16 and 17

Now it gets hard to stop searching and start wiring. The Internet is so full of fascinating stuff!  On fact to another and another and I can spend 2 hours listing and no actual work. But I'd did manage to crawl out from Online Stupor and assemble two non fictions pictures books. The first is on positions of prayer around the world and the other is on various places to sit internationally. You can see the tempatiaon to slide into comparing names for bread or what we call our footwear! But 2 more done - 17 of 26!

And today I saw and got pictures of a real javelina!

Days 14 and 15

Settled in Tucson with the sun shining in. Nice. I finished Two more - on a substantial rewrite of No Car No Problem about world transportation told in rhyme. Much more fun thatn that discirption sounds! Another one for the Page Turner book on feeding 5000. Today is the 17th so I am almost caught up!
Looking out the window - maybe Prickly the Talking Cactus? Still watching for a javelina!

Days 12 and 13

Huff puff trying to catch up on this marathon! So I did another Page Turner on Peter denying Jesus and then one based on life here in AZ. My sister in law fell recently and got an abandoned puppy on the same day. The convergence of the two means the puppy is named Stitch! I suppose ideas come all year, but in February I am watching for them. And making time to write them.
